Chapter 205: Refining Treasures in the Furnace, What Questions Do You Have?
The cave on Yutai Peak, beside the Yin-Yang stone pool.

The golden glow and jade liquid converged into a line and gathered above Xu Heng's fontanelle, as if forming a auspicious cloud, with yin and yang swirling endlessly inside.

The picture seemed to be still until a certain moment.

It seemed that Xu Heng had withdrawn his mysterious power and no longer drew yin and yang from the stone pool, so the strange phenomenon gradually faded away until it returned to silence.

In this way, another half a day passed before Xu Heng slowly exhaled a breath of air. He was calm and opened his eyes, unable to help revealing some emotion.

The road ahead is long and truly endless. No matter what stage you are in, there is always room for improvement.

Xu Heng didn't know what others thought, but this was undoubtedly a blessing for him, because even the slightest improvement in the smallest details would be wonderful and gratifying to him.

Xu Heng shook his Taoist robe, stood up from his cushion, slowly walked out of the quiet room, and glanced at the sundial in the hall. It was indeed early morning.

Xu Heng suddenly had an idea: "It seems that it is time to go and listen to the teachings."

The three choices of true teachings were made ten days ago.

These days, Xu Heng visited some fellow disciples, but since they were practitioners, it might be rare to meet them, and many old acquaintances and friends were not in the mountains.

In addition, he has also read some Taoist classics, and whether he read them for the first time or revisited them, he always gained something new.

Of course, although he had given himself a few days of leisure, Xu Heng would not completely forget his studies, and he would occasionally practice his magical instruments and Taoist techniques.

In this way, it seemed like a flash of lightning, and more than half a month had passed in a hurry.

Xu Heng felt that he had had enough leisure time and had made sufficient preparations. When it was time to start a period of concentrated practice, he immediately had the idea.

But before that, he had one small thing to do.

More than half a month ago, Xu Heng found the 'Taixu Youwu Xuanxiang Sword Box' in the Xuanhuang Cave.

This magic weapon was refined with eighty-eight sixty-four layers of Earthly Evil Restrictions, which was already top-notch and was not far from perfect restriction. It was actually stored in the first layer of the Xuanhuang Cave, which really surprised Xu Heng.

However, after reading the records on the talisman paper, Xu Heng understood it clearly.

It turns out that the Taixu Xuanxiang Sword Box consumes much more magic power than ordinary magic tools, which is difficult for ordinary practitioners to bear. Of course, this is only a minor flaw. No matter how heavy the load is, as long as it functions perfectly, someone will naturally be able to use it.

But it has another problem, which is different from other magical instruments.

Most of the magical instruments stored in the Xuanhuang Cave were refined by the sect's masters, and they have all the methods for sacrifice, refining, and use. However, the Taixu Youwu Xuanxiang Sword Box not only lacks the methods for sacrifice, refining, and prohibition, but even the methods of use are only described in just a few basic sentences.

This is the fundamental reason why it was stored in the first layer of Xuanhuang Cave——

The reason why Xuanhuang Cave is the important place for storing magical instruments in the sect is because it has the magical power to warm and even slowly refine the magical instruments. It is divided into three layers not to distinguish whether they are precious or not, but because the ability to warm and refine the instruments varies greatly among the three layers.

The Taixu Youwu Xuanxiang Sword Box lacks the method of refining. It is placed in the Xuanhuang Cave only to warm the instrument, but it cannot be refined or increase the restrictions. Therefore, although it is of the best quality, there is no need to put it in the second layer.

Of course, this was a surprise for Xu Heng.

Refining magical instruments is an increasingly difficult process. The other magical instruments in the first layer may have great potential, but if you want to refine them to this level, it will probably take decades of hard work. Naturally, they are not better than the Taixu Youwu Xuanxiang Sword Box.

Moreover, the function of this magic weapon is not as useless as Xu Heng thought. Although the method of using it is flawed, it is not impossible to figure it out by oneself... Therefore, Xu Heng thought about it for a while, and still chose the Taixu Youwu Xuanxiang Sword Box according to the Xuanhuang Dharma Decree.

However, just refining the sixty-four restrictions of this magic weapon would require a lot of hard work. Xu Heng had only made a superficial start in recent days and would soon have to concentrate on practicing. He had no time to do this slow work.

For this purpose, he went to the library specially and found a set of "Three Samadhi Treasure Refining Secrets" to refine the Taixu Youwu Xuanxiang Sword Box.

Xu Heng opened the prepared alchemy room, and a furnace had already been set up inside, but this furnace was not used for refining elixirs.

In the alchemy furnace, the flames were blazing, and seemed to be able to burn to the top of the hills and valleys. This was the real fire that Xu Heng had added with a lot of his magic power in the past ten days.

The Three-Samadhi Treasure Refining Technique is about refining a ball of true fire, and then the practitioner takes a bit of essence, energy, and spirit, and combines them into the true fire to form a ball of 'Three-Samadhi True Fire'.

This Samadhi True Fire is not a remedy for condensing elixirs, nor is it a supreme magical power. It is just that it can help practitioners to open the restrictions on magical instruments and save them countless hard work. No one knows who created it, but it is truly an extremely ingenious creation.

Xu Heng looked at the fire in the furnace for a while, and confirmed again that there was nothing wrong. He then cast a spell and picked up a point of spiritual light from the temple, which turned into real fire in the furnace.

The real fire in the furnace moved slightly, and the flames did not increase at all, but seemed to have a little more "spirituality", which looked quite mysterious.

Seeing this, Xu Heng knew that the true fire had been formed. He finally nodded slightly, took out the Taixu Youwu Xuanxiang sword box, and put it into the alchemy furnace.

When the sword box was entered, it seemed to be lifted up by the real fire and naturally floated in the center of the furnace. Apart from that, there were no other strange phenomena.

Xu Heng slowly made a hand gesture, sealed the door of the alchemy furnace, and opened the restriction. He didn't look at it any more, turned around and left the alchemy room. After a little breathing adjustment, he took out the true talisman book and shook it gently.

A thin smoke came out from inside, and the flowing clouds were like catkins, gently stretching out, and actually spread out a cloud road under Xu Heng's feet, pointing directly to the cave gate.

Xu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, then swung his Taoist robe and strode out of the cave along the cloud road. Sure enough, he saw the cloud road winding upwards and heading to an unknown place in the sky.

Xu Heng naturally went up along the path, and gradually he was in the deep clouds. Suddenly he remembered that this was very similar to the cloud path he had walked with the boy Zhong Che when Lu Chunyang summoned him.

Could it be that the place he was going to be under the tutelage of this great master?

Xu Heng was pondering in his heart when the cloud road under his feet gradually came to an end. Suddenly, he saw the clouds dissipate and a hanging island appeared before his eyes.

A strong pine tree, a bamboo hut, a clear spring and a strange stone.

The layout of this hanging island was indeed exactly the same as where Lu Chunyang lived back then, but for some reason, Xu Heng felt that there was no similarity between the two.

When the cloud road came to an end, Xu Heng landed on the hanging island and bowed towards the bamboo hut, wanting to meet his teacher, but received no response.

He pushed open the door of the bamboo hut and saw that it was indeed empty inside. The island was also very quiet, and there seemed to be no trace of other people.

Xu Heng couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He walked into the bamboo hut and took a look around. There was only a narrow hall and a quiet room. The furnishings were extremely simple, with only ordinary items. There was only an unnamed Taoist book casually placed on the table.

When I opened it, I found that this Taoist book not only had no name, but was also completely blank inside. I was immediately very confused.

"What on earth is this?" Xu Heng used his divine sense to sense and confirmed that there was nothing unusual. Just as he was wondering, he saw a trace of ink suddenly appear on the paper, and a line of small words gradually took shape...

"On that day, the disciple Xu Heng came to listen to the teachings, and the immortal asked: 'What do you want to ask?'"
